Please see below and attached for an invitation to - and registration
instructions for - our 'Mediated Text' symposium at Loughborough
University's London (UK) campus on Friday, 5 April 2019.


The Mediated Text

A Textual Futures symposium at Loughborough London, 5 April 2019

Digitally-assisted ways of engaging with texts - literature, film,
theatre and soundscapes - have brought the relationship between art and
audience under new scrutiny. E-books, for example, give readers a
hitherto unknown level of control over the appearance of their texts,
while the rise of the digital audiobook places an external agent (the
narrator) between the page and its interpreter. These phenomena make
clear what is always true, though often hidden: our interactions with
texts have never been a pure, unadulterated coupling of narrative and
narratee but are always affected by numerous external factors.

On Friday 5th April 2019, Loughborough University's Communication and
Culture Beacon
 
Sub-Theme /Textual Futures/ will host "The Mediated Text" symposium at its 
London campus. We will be joined by members of BBC's Research and Development
team, publishers, and academics including Professors Martin Eve and
Matthew Rubery to explore how engaging with texts has always been, is
currently and may in the future be a mediated experience.

The day will feature a mix of practical demonstrations of DH projects,
video exhibitions, round table discussions, keynotes and research
papers. This variety of presentation styles will, we hope, help us to
harness the energy of this fast-moving and elastic field of
interdisciplinary research.

The symposium registration fee is £35 including lunch and other
refreshments throughout the day. Registration for those not affiliated
with Loughborough University is available at
https://store.lboro.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/school-of-the-arts-english-and-
drama/upcoming-eventssymposiums/the-mediated-text
.
Please contact Ms Leah Henrickson (L.R.Henrickson@lboro.ac.uk) for more 
information, and/or if you are affiliated with Loughborough University 
and wish to register.
